5.0 out of 5 stars
a breath of fresh air - now the patch is out, 17 Dec 2005
well i'll start off by saying I have been a big fan of the championship manager titles in the past, but I thought i'd try a new management sim this year and was pleasantly suprised.The game has a nice variety of game modes starting off as managing the team of your choice your usual option. You can also start a game being offered a contract from 3 random clubs. Or my favourite option of the 3, founding your own club from scratch. It has a nice layout and an easy to use interface, and you can manage just about as much as you want to and leave the assistant manager to do the rest, from arranging friendlies to setting up sponsorship deals and stocking your merchandise along with many other various tasks. The 3D match highlights are enjoyable to watch and you find yourself really getting into the action as if it was your favourite club in a derby game. The commentry is fairly good but the occasionally strange thing said every now and then. Having installed the patch i have had no problems as of yet, and I am battling through the lower divisions with my founded club, another nice thing is you actually get paid as a manager and can spend your wages on your club if you wish to, aptly named "the abramovich effect". With all that said this is a great management game and you'll find yourself sat at the computer for hours and hopefully enjoying it as much as I am. NOTE: Patch is now released.
